If you’re a customer of UK ISP Virgin Media and connect with the Super Hub 2 or Super Hub 2ac you’ll be pleased to know the company patched a significant security flaw during May.
Helpfully, Virgin’s automatic updating via the TR-069 remote management protocol means this issue should already be fixed for everyone bar the tiny number who might not have turned their routers on for many weeks.
Unfortunately, Naked Security has also learned that many of these routers – still used by the majority of Virgin’s five million subscribers – have a known and more fundamental problem that requires immediate user intervention to fix.
